There's a saying that goes "when it rains, it pours", but this is one rain that mobile users are unlikely to complain about. After some delays and silence on the rollout of Android 5.0, we're now seeing a flood of incoming updates to some smartphones. Sadly, not all models and not all regions are covered by this joyful news. Hopefully, though, it's just the opening salvo that opens the floodgates of Android 5.0 updates everywhere.

Before 2014 ended, we said that Motorola would be rolling out Lollipop for the 1st gen Moto G. Weeks of waiting are over, well at least, we don't have to wait for long as Motorola recently mentioned that the software update will arrive in the "upcoming weeks". This is good news for owners of the first Moto G especially since the 2nd-gen was the first smartphone to officially get Android 5.0 Lollipop last year.

Before 2014 ended, we noted that a new Moto G is coming to Brazil with 4G/LTE connectivity and a bigger battery. It wasn't exactly a rumor because it was spotted on Motorola's Brazilian website. We didn't have to wait long as the Lenovo-owned Motorola has just launched a new version of the 2nd-generation Moto G in the country. Main features are still the same but with the addition of 4G support and Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box.

As more and more people are using data more than SMS or calls on their mobile phone subscriptions, carriers will become even more competitive, but on a different frontier. But it looks like some Internet providers are also getting in on the action, but this time offering mobile phone services through their WiFi. One of the earliest to jump on this wagon is Cablevision with their new low-cost service called Freewheel.

Lenovo's acquisition of Motorola Mobility from Google is finally complete. This means Lenovo can now do almost anything with the company including announce and release the latest Moto smartphones in any market. The parent company is bringing Motorola back in China especially since it is an emerging market when it comes to mobile device usage. Three new Moto devices will be arriving in China very soon: the Moto X, Moto X Pro, and the Moto G 4G LTE.

No official announcement has been made yet but a new Moto G could be available in Brazil. Some information was spotted on the Brazilian website of Motorola bearing an LTE connectivity. But that's not the only feature that will impress the people because the LTE G is said to be getting a 2390mAh battery. That's larger than the 2070mAh battery of the standard Moto G smartphone which recently received an Android 5.0 Lollipop update earlier this month.

A special update for the Android 5.0 Lollipop of Moto G in India has just been released to bring more features and enhancements. Motorola noted that once you update your Moto G to Android 5.0 Lollipop, you wouldn’t be able to downgrade to the previous software version. I’m sure you wouldn’t think of doing that because this version brings a lot of improvements to the smartphone. Most notable changes are in areas of how you interact with the mobile device and visual style.

Moto G (1st Gen) owners can be forgiven for thinking that Motorola has forgotten about them in all the hoopla about the flagship Moto X. But it looks like the OEM will be updating the device soon to the latest major Android version, Lollipop 5.0. The first step though is updating the Motorola Update Services app.

Just a day after we found out that Motorola has sweetly unleashed the brand new Android 5.0 Lollipop on the 2014 edition of their Moto G, the OEM has also confirmed that their Moto X Pure Edition has also started rolling out the latest major Google upgrade to the platform. Everyone was surprised that the Moto G was the first device to officially get Lollipop-ized, even ahead of the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7, or the LG G3 which previously announced it was rolling out in Poland this week.
